doing tai chi with Tobie

I began my last day of March at 5:00 a.m. in my bedroom by non other then stretching for thirty minutes then doing my weight exercises for another thirty minutes. Once I had finished my hour long workout, I then preceded to shower and get ready for the rest of my day, while drinking my hot cocoa. I then went out into the kitchen to have some bacon and an egg sandwich for breakfast with some fruit. Once I had finished eating I had returned to my bedroom to brush my teeth before cleaning my bathroom. I then grabbed my lunch and my knapsack and sat down to wait for United to arrive. Sam from United then soon pulled into the door yard. He and my father like to chat a bit before leaving. I was then soon on my way. Upon my arrival to WestSide, I had put my lunch in the refrigerator. I then changed into my sneakers before going into the gym for my P.T. session with Lydia. Lydia first had me riding the Nu Step for twenty-five minutes. After doing so, I had gone 1.57 miles. Lydia then had me on a mat stretching my ham strings. We then went out into the hall way to do some heel to toe walking. Which is very hard to do. Especially when your balance is off. Lydia then had me walking backwards. She then had me doing toe raises until i tired my foot out completely. After my P.T. session I then went to the conference room for tai chi group. Today the Tai Chi instructor Joe had another appointment, so Tobie led the group for an hour. In doing so she had each of us try to recall and exercise thus working on our cognitive skills as well as our mobility and balance. As I was doing so, Lora had a hold of my gate belt to help me with my balance. Carol then lead us in a meditation to end the group. At 11:00 I then preceded to stay in the conference room for the next hour for laughter therapy group. While the rest of the group was working on the laughter game we are making with Deb and Florina, I sat in front of the computer typing out the rules of the game. Once the hour was up, I then went to the kitchen to eat my lunch with others before going home at 1:00. I had arrived home at 2:10, thus sleeping all the way. I had gone inside to take a shower and went strait to bed. I had slept another 2.5 hours before getting up. I then went into the kitchen at 5:00 to eat dinner. After doing so, I had gone strait to my lap top to blog.
